Can this remote change the "source" on your tv and can it be used for "Movies On Demand"? I do not see these buttons on the remote.

You can use to teach function to program the remote to do almost anything as long as you have the original remote. If you do this and the buttons are not on the remote, you'll have to select which other buttons you want a program for that particular function.

I use this remote to work my FIOS DVR - I first got it to learn the code for FIOS and then pressed all the functions buttons to figure out if any had automatically picked up some of the FIOS features and they had - video on demand etc, DVR. I used the learn feature for any other features of specific buttons, like the Xbox remote buttons.

Hi Peggy, This remote has a learning mode so that it can be programmed to replace remotes that don't have a specific manufacturer code available. This may sound a little confusing, but you can make any button on the remote do any function you choose. You'll have to decide which button you want to use for "Source" and which button you want to use for "Movies On Demand". I've used the learning function on three different remotes with no trouble. You need to have the old remote working to do this. The steps to "teach" the universal remote are very specific so have the user manual handy while you do it and take your time. Basically, you: - place the old and universal remotes so that they are pointing at each other, - put the universal remote into "learn" mode, - press the button on the universal remote where you want to store the command from the old remote and then - press the appropriate button on the old remote. The universal remote can decode the signal for that command from the old remote and store it in the button you selected. Make sure to finish the process by following the step to take the universal remote out of learn mode. Good luck!

A nice feature of this remote is that it can learn a code from virtually any button any any remote. So, if you have a remote control that will perform a function that is not available on the GE remote, you can easily clone the key function onto your GE remote. If I remember correctly, you can do this on any key of the GE remote except for two or three specific keys. So, for example, if you are using the remote in the DVD mode, you can program the Input key to change the input on your TV. There are also four lettered keys that can be programmed any way you want.

No it can be switched at any time. Using the remote allows this. Sometimes the response is slow; but that is because of the "Smart TV"

I have it attached to a bluray player that retransmits the signal. Through that I have it paired with a proscan tv, which I believe is made by Panasonic and a time warner cable box. Both work fine, not all functions march corresponding buttons u will have to play around for less used functions. Separate note I think I've charged the battery 4 times since I've had this and it is my exclusive remote.

If you have the original remote, you can have this remote learn the original remote's functions.I'm curious if you're asking about the feature found on some Sony TVs to freeze any image shown on the screen, or something else?

There are no actual buttons. The "buttons" are touch sensitive spots on the right front under corner of the screen. Each touch sensitive area has a silk screen logo printed on top of it. Look for the power on/off logo on the very right. If you touch the logo it should turn the TV on or off depending on the current state. The other "buttons" will function as a real button would.

At least not in the way I'm using it, I'm playing recorded over the air (OTA) TV and that doesn't have scenes. I have a separate DVD player and remote, so have never tried with this one. The controls I use that might do that are fast for/rev and jump to next recording. Supposedly you are suppose to be able to program the 4 color buttons, but I haven't seen where anybody has done it. I believe you have to program your receiving device to make use of the color buttons.

The buttons have different functions depending on what you are trying to do and what mode you are in (and of course what TV you have). The only way to know for certain is by using the manual. If you not have one, you can get them pretty easily online.

I can't answer specifically to your question, but I can tell you that you can use your current old remote to program any of the new remotes buttons. I had to do this for my old Phillips DVR, and it worked perfectly. The only thing this remote wont do is control a ROKU 3 BUT that is not the remotes fault. the new ROKU's use RF instead of IR for their remotes. overall I really like this remote. the layout of the buttons is pretty good for my use also.

Mmmm, unfortunately it does not switch automatically (or at least I don't know how). From my experience, It will stay in the input until you switch it manually. An alternative would be getting a universal remote. This would switch the input depending on your scene. That way when you turn on your tv to watch a movie the remote will turn on the tv, the dvd and switch the input in the optical audio box. Hope this helps!

Yes, and those are programmable by capturing the remote signal, so virtually the can be any button you want. ( I use CH+/- for the Channels and Vol+/- for the home theater. You can also have two modes for the buttons (Remote 1 & Remote 2)

I doubt it (because I bought this for someone else). The remote only has "on" and "off" buttons.

Nope. You have to push a button on the remote. Until the cover/on/off switch is lost and you have to throw it away. They won't sell you a replacement part. Guess how I learned this! (my advice -buy a different brand)

I use my remote. But the buttons are on the left side when your facing the T.V. if that doesn't work then it's defective.

Yes but depending on the original remote configuration some functions might not work. I still need the original remote to use some functions in the menu.

The volume buttons should work, but you may not see the change onscreen. I usually only watch movies on it while I'm on the train or bus, because you usually have to re-encode (re-save) the movie to .wma format with Windows Movie Maker. Also if you have an AV receiver to hook it up to, it can take several attempts for it to be recognized. Depends on the receiver, because my new one works just fine.

There is not a default "hard" button on the remote but you can add a button on the touch screen that will do that. I also have directv and that is what I do. I imagine you could program one of the hard buttons to do that but I find adding the touch button more convenient. This all is if you can get software to work.

Yes, my wife and I each have a remote and we can both make changes. It becomes a matter of dueling remotes. It can be fun or not!
